The New York Giants may very well find themselves in an awkward (or enviable, or dangerous, depending on your point of view) situation by the end of this season. They entered the 2024 NFL Draft having rolled snake eyes on their expensive bet on Daniel Jones in 2023 after his career-best 2022 season. (The Indianapolis Colts said, hold my beer, and did exactly the same thing with Jones earlier this year, and now they're the ones who have rolled snake eyes.) Giants general manager Joe Schoen, having lost out on Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels, and Drake Maye in the 2024 Draft, decided to pass on the other three "big" quarterbacks in that draft, including Michigan's J.J. McCarthy, and took Malik Nabers at No. 6 instead. The Minnesota Vikings subsequently gave up a fourth and a fifth round pick to the Jets to move up from No. 11 to No. 10 and draft McCarthy (they also got a seventh rounder). By the time the bye week arrived, Jones had been released and wound up a Viking along with McCarthy. Neither one ever played a down for the Vikings in 2024, McCarthy because of an injury.
